Revelation of the Word:

THEME: VALUE OF WISDOM

James 3:13-17 NKJV

“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.”

INSIGHT

-There are four kinds of wisdom identified in these scriptures. There is earthly wisdom which is common sense and the ability to instinctively recognize right and wrong. Sensual wisdom is philosophical wisdom, that comes through studies and experience. Devilish wisdom is a sense of judgment that is higher than man’s intuition that comes from alliance with demon spirits. Wisdom that comes from above is pure and supreme and given by the Holy Spirit. We discover that through the wisdom of God, good conduct and character is realized. Impartation of wisdom from God activates meekness and good works empowered by Christ Jesus.
